Texas Football Nabs Major Recruit in John Meredith III
The five-star cornerback chose the Longhorns over Texas A&M while a district committee ruled him ineligible for his senior season.
- On Friday, five-star cornerback John Meredith III announced his commitment to Texas, choosing the Longhorns over in-state finalist Texas A&M following official visits to both programs.
- A district athletic committee ruled Meredith ineligible for his senior season on a 5-2 vote, citing a transfer for athletic purposes from Euless Trinity to North Crowley in January.
- Sources indicate Meredith is expected to appeal the ineligibility decision; Texas cornerbacks coach Mark Orphey and defensive coordinator Will Muschamp were central to securing his pledge.
- The Longhorns currently hold the No. 12 class in the 2027 cycle with 15 commitments, including recent pledges from outside linebacker Jabarrius Garror and defensive lineman Kasi Currie.
- Despite settling his college destination, Meredith's senior season status remains uncertain pending the outcome of his appeal; he previously participated in the 2026 Under Armour All-American Game.
